I ended up getting Brooks Adrenalin GTS 7 from Brooks direct online, for £60 bargain as they are a top trainer.

Did 18 miles on Sunday in 2:56 and was absolutely knackered!!! but did it

Hi Pania

Its just getting the miles into your legs, you will get stronger as it goes on, believe me 18 miles was a killer and still another 8 to go after that!!

It is getting better though, did 16 week before and felt it at 14.5, but yesterday did 18 and felt it at about 16, so stamina is kicking in, dont mention the Plymouth hills though, I hate them with a vengeance, trouble is cant go on any runs where we havent got hills!!

pania

i live in norfolk, completely opposite issue!! te he!!!!

is that all it is then? thats good to know!!!! just wierd the way it clears after a while. bloomin bodies!!!

southwester_2

yep trust me, my legs felt dead after about 4 miles yesterday, then they cleared, you jammy monkey living in Norfolk, flat as hell, mind you all the hills should make the marathon easy!!! - I wish!!!

pania

LOL, sadly no hill training to be done though!! hope the treadmills at the new gym can be inclined!!!!

Hi SW and P.


Funny you should be talking about hills as I have just this minute got back from a hilly 6 mile run. I have been doing the hills and the speed work. Now it is a case of putting in the longer runs.

pania

ello you! good for you with the hill run, offdown to kent this weekend to see the folks so will make the most of some hill training there. what speed work programme do you follow if i may be so bold.
